Smoky Honey Habanero Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Spiceology Smoky Honey Habanero blend

  • 312 g / 2 ½ heaping cups all-purpose flour

  • 115 g / ½ cup butter, frozen

  • 1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing on top.
  • 100 g / 1 cup of your favorite cheese, we used an aged cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt
  • Honey, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  2. Mix together your flour, baking powder and salt together.
  3. Shred your frozen butter with a box grater for the perfect size pieces of butter.
  4. Make a well and add in your buttermilk and cheese.
  5. Mix until a shaggy dough is formed, and place onto your counter.
  6. Bring dough together and form into a rectangle, fold 1/3 of the dough into the middle and then the other 1/3 over and press together and rotate the dough a quarter turn and flatten to and inch or so. Repeat this step 2 more times but make sure to work quickly as you don’t want to overwork the dough or for the butter to warm up too much.

  7. Cut the dough into 6 even pieces, brush with buttermilk and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and drizzle honey on top, if using.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before devouring.
